Flowing interlaced knot creative workshop

Description

A fun take on the formal Celtic knotwork techniques, this workshop is aimed at creating flowing shapes and turning them in to non-traditional interlaced knotwork. Based on the unders and overs of a formal Celtic knot, you will learn the simple technique to create a flowing interlaced motif and then will learn some techniques to create a decorative background. We can work on abstract knotwork, monograms and loose floral designs. Once you have created your unique design, we’ll use the water soluble properties of brush pens to colour the piece and add shading with pencils. This is a fun and relaxed workshop using a really simple technique to create pieces with lots of impact. The workshop is held in the workshop studio in my own home, just outside Stanley, County Durham. Please note: access to my home involves stairs. There is a maximum number of four people on the workshop, so you will receive plenty of individual attention and tuition. This workshop requires a minimum of two people to go ahead. Why not join up with some friends and spend a creative day together? Suitable for beginners.

I’m Carrie, and I’m an artist and art and crafts teacher based in Stanley, north east England. I have been teaching art and crafts since the early 2000s and teach a weekly art and craft workshop in the local area for a social prescribing programme. Through personal experience, I know just how engaging with art and crafts can bring about a wonderful sense of wellbeing and relaxation. I absolutely love passing on my knowledge and the benefits of art and craft for wellbeing. I particularly enjoy teaching absolute beginners, so rest assured, whatever your art and craft experience, I will guide you through the process and make it as enjoyable as I can for you! I love to share my knowledge and tips and techniques, so I hope you'll find the classes fun and informative.
